We've re-opened Whau Valley Dam for visitors, but fenced off an area of unstable ground. The carpark and access was closed earlier this year while assessments were carried out, and the carpark area has been deemed to be safe.

The Whau Valley Dam Track, which is accessed via the Dam car park, remains closed due to a slip - please stay clear of the fenced areas for now. The concrete path along the crest of the dam remains open.
